So, just who IS Beckie Melvin? Well I’m 30…something, live in Bedfordshire, have a house of crazy boys (mix of husband, son & bulldogs!) & it’s not an exaggeration to say that I live & breathe weddings.

I became qualified as a Wedding & Events Planner in 2015, having worked in the events industry for several years previously I wanted to challenge myself & add specific qualifications to my portfolio. From the moment I began studying for my diploma, I was hooked! I knew I’d found my calling & I set about starting the Wedding Planning side of Beckie Melvin Weddings & Events.

I have built it from scratch, shaped it, cried over it, laughed over it and above all, loved and nurtured it into the business you see today. I think it’s fair to say I put my heart and soul into Beckie Melvin Weddings & Events.

This isn’t just a business, a logo on a card, or a pretty website. This is my life, and I am SO proud of what I’ve created. I’ve overcome many challenges both in my personal and professional life to get to where I am today, and I wouldn’t change a thing. I’ve learnt so much about myself and what I’m capable of.​I love my job and the happiness I bring to people like you on one of the most important days of your lives.

I only organise a limited number of weddings a year, therefore there’s no conveyor belt of clients & it ensures that everyone receives 100% attention to detail.

You are supported from the moment that you first contact me, until some time after your big day – some couples have gone on to become life-long friends, which I feel so blessed to be able to say.

I am constantly on hand to answer questions & put your mind at rest and you will only speak directly with me during the preparations for your wedding – no team or office with different names on each email, just myself, the owner. In working this way, I am ensured to be providing the highest level of consistency & professionalism.​I offer a wide range of services & pricing options, to ensure I’m accessible to ALL couples who are in need of support. No two couples are the same, therefore all services offered are bespoke, enabling me to reach each clients’ needs & requirements.I only use my own list of trusted wedding specialists, each one added to my database only after working together at least twice at one of my own wedding shows, therefore giving me the confidence I need in their work to recommend them to you.

At one of the most recent weddings I organised, I worked hand in hand with the bride & groom, advised on the perfect venue, chose their photographer, florist, DJ, even picked the bride’s dress out based on what I knew would suit both her & her personality. Every time the couple finalised a detail with the suppliers I set them up with, they were amazed at how well matched they were.

That’s why I insist on only recommending wedding suppliers that I have met & worked with, I have full confidence in their abilities & trust they will only deliver the best service to my couples.

No detail is too small – for example, I have made centre pieces & table plans when no other option has fitted perfectly, I have many talents!

Over the last few years, I’ve also worked closely with a large number of local venues, meeting the owners & managers, learning about their wedding packages, & doing everything I can to become confident in their ability, creating the perfect backdrop to your special day.

​Since 2017 I have worked with Flaxbourne Gardens in Woburn, Buckinghamshire, as the Weddings & Events Coordinator. It’s not an exaggeration to say that I adore my job there! Every couple that I meet has a different love story to tell. It’s wonderful to help them create the day that they dreamed of – to hear their plans, discuss themes & colours, joke about guest lists & table plans, sigh over personalised vows… it never gets old. (Isn’t that from a Disney film? Tale as old as time…) It’s a huge honour to be given the responsibility of creating a couples wedding day, you literally hold their happiness in your hands. It’s an amazing feeling!

I’ve had positive feedback from everyone I have worked with – recent reviews can be seen below, every single one means the world to me & I am reminded of why I do this job that I love so much.

Rachel D – Thank you so much for your support, the fact you were always at the end of an email was SO reassuring.

Laura K – there is no one else I would have wanted in charge of my wedding! Thank you!x

Carolyn L - Beckie is such a professional and only too happy to please with nothing being too much trouble and of course always with a smile. My favourite Wedding organiser!Beckie has a passion for people, Weddings, product and really knows how to combine that all together. xxx

Pippa D – what can I say? THANK YOU! Beckie went above & beyond to create our dream day, & it was just that & more. Josh & I are so thankful for Beckie’s knowledge, even the smallest details became her top priority – including taking a few candid shots of me getting ready because I didn’t want anyone else to see that bit, but the close up details were such a lovely touch. She was always on hand to answer any queries, however silly they seemed, and we just knew we were in safe hands. I shall be recommending you to all my friends!
